that was a week that was

Well hello again my friends,Shane is parading around Vals house looking like Hugh Heffner in a robe.LOL!@#$%^&*
We have had a full on week,Sleep[ing abnd generally relaxing.Spent a fwew days repairing bits of the van that were dropping off and then we headed over to Golden Bay for a couple of days,Not nearly long enough i have to say.We went to Kaiteriteri and had a huge walk down to Split Apple Rock,which was just beautiful.Then headed overThe Hill to Takaka,and had the most beautiful meal at Wholesome Cafe,then headed over to Pohara and stayed the night there.Elvis in his element waking up to a run on the beach....bliss
Went for a couple of beers at the Penguin pub and got chatting with a girl hfrom Leicester,weird!!!!
Next day we headed to PuPu Springs which has the clearest waters in Australasia and then to The Mussell Inn up near Collingwood,a really funky cool old tavern which holds live music events and has composting toilets,lol
then Val had decided that she wanted to see the Troglodite stone in Cobb Valley.We headed off up into the hills west of lower Takaka and after a 30km drive we hit a fallen tree across the troad which had fallen only mins before our arrival.Spent an hour watching Fulton Hogan trying sucessfully toi move it .....Vwery exciting but scupperred our adventure as we had to be back in Nelson to see One Flew over the Cuckoos nest which was awesome.The weathwer is still lush.Off to the beach to walk elvis and then we are off farm sitting tomorrow
